AUTONOMOUS WORKLOAD HOMING IN A MULTI-TENANT ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230127840 titled 'AUTONOMOUS WORKLOAD HOMING IN A MULTI-TENANT ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for identifying a suitable storage array for an application workload in a multi-tenant environment.

  • The method involves identifying workload parameters and grouping them into bins based on historical data.
  • The bin mix, which indicates workload activity exceeding a specified threshold, is used to train a supervised learning model.
  • The model is trained using a generative adversarial network to infer attributes of a suitable storage array.
  • The workload may be associated with a scaling factor that influences the determination of a suitable storage array.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in multi-tenant cloud environments to optimize storage allocation for different application workloads.
  • It can be used by cloud service providers to improve resource utilization and performance for their customers.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently allocating storage resources in a multi-tenant environment.
  • It addresses the challenge of determining the most suitable storage array for different application workloads.

Benefits

  • The method allows for better resource utilization by matching application workloads with the most appropriate storage arrays.
  • It improves performance and efficiency by dynamically allocating storage resources based on workload characteristics.
  • The use of a generative adversarial network enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of the model in predicting suitable storage arrays.


Original Abstract Submitted

a methods for identifying a multi-tenant storage array for an application workload includes identifying workload parameters and defining a plurality of groups for each parameter and a plurality of “bins” corresponding to tuples of the groups. exemplary workload parameters include a percent read parameter and an i/o size parameter. a bin mix of the workload is determined based on historical data wherein the bin mix indicates bins associated with workload activity exceeding a specified threshold. the bin mix is used to define at least some inputs for a supervised learning model of a process for homing application workloads in a multi-tenant storage array. after appropriate training of the model with a generative adversarial network, the model may be invoked to infer or predict attributes of a suitable storage array. the workload may be associated with a scaling factor that influences the determination of a suitable storage array.
